What do the 'poor', owe society?

(Posted on 11/25/12 at 7:28 am)

Plenty of talk about what the rich owe; what about the poor, are there any qualifiers to their demand for economic/social justice? No work requirements at all? No drug tests? No pledge not to become a criminal burden on those that pay their way?

I'm sick of this whole farse; serious debate has really become a joke.

before i offer a link to counter that absurd assertion, what counts as "social spending" in your world? what do you think makes up the rest of our federal budget other than corp welfare- defense spending?

Pal, I'm just going off of the numerous links you could find with a simple google search.

Traditional social programs get between 50-60 billion a year, corporate welfare is at 100 billion a year. (And again that's without bail outs, write offs, and tax breaks).
